Close Enemy

Chapter 39

The police force had parked few miles away from the address which was given by grandpa's abductor, we sat in the patrol car as they all pondered of a good plan to get grandpa safe and get the criminal whose identity is still unknown.

After several minutes one of the officers had come up with a good plan, detective Sanchez and four other officers decided to pay a visit to the address given by the abductor.

When they had arrived at the place they saw a very large warehouse which had been abandoned for a very long period, they all made an entering into the warehouse through the back door.

The warehouse was quite big making it really difficult to locate grandpa, they were several doors leading to several rooms, some were empty and filled with cobwebs others had boxes and old office furniture.

The police officers kept lurking inside the warehouse carefully so as not to giveaway themselves to the criminal.

After a while of roaming around detective Sanchez came across a room whose light was turned on and the door to the room partially opened, when he noticed this he peeped from behind the door to see if anybody was in it.

But from the angle at which he stood he couldn't sight anything, he took another bold step to look through into the room. Then he could get a better view of the room, the room was very large and seemed like a movie theatre.

He could hear a voice echo round the room, it was that of a man. Inside the room were large wooden boxes which were 6-10inch tall, and wide enough to cover a human.

The officers snucked into the room with their body bent low and their guns placed in their hand ready to fire at any moment.

The abductor was a middle aged man, was tall and had a chubbyfat body he was tan skinned and bald.

After the officers had gotten into the room, they observed the room carefully and noticed a woman holding a baby in her hands with her two legs chained, grandpa was placed in the middle of the room unconscious, he was seated on a chair with his two hands tied behind.

His shirt had been pulled away showing his belly which was bandaged, and some plasters placed on his chest. It seemed the abductor had hurt him there when he attacked him.

Detective Sanchez moved closer to where the abductor had stood while he was making a phone call.

He took a bold step and moved away from his hiding spot and walked into the middle of the room with the abductor backing him.

The lady chained noticed the detective, Sanchez gave her a warning sign to stay calm and not make any noise, the lady stayed were she was as she cooperated with the officer.

Sanchez moved very close to the abductor then stood behind him bringing out his pistol as he placed the muzzle of the gun at the back of the abductor's head.

"Raise your hands up in the air, DO IT NOW!!!"

The abductor drops his phone from his hand as he slowly raises both his hands up, in the process of raising both hands he quickly pulls out a gun from his pocket points it at the detective and moves farther away from sanchez.

"You're surrounded, drop your weapon!!" He said but the abductor chose to flaunt his orders.

"I repeat you're surrounded drop your weapon!"

The rest of the police officers hiding came out of their hiding spot as they all surrounded the room pointing their gun's at him.

"You're surrounded now, drop your weapon or you'll get shut"

"I don't care, go ahead"

A police officer had noticed he wasn't ready to cooperate, he then brought out a taser from his right pocket and pointed it at the abductor and aimed at his right forearm.

The abductor fell to the ground, then the entire police force in that room, rushed to the middle of the room to get him handcuffed and taken straight to the police station.

~~~~~~~~~~

After all that had happened at the warehouse, the lady who had been chained and the abductor were taken in for questioning separately.

As for grandpa he was taken to a hospital for proper treatment, he was at the verge of dying as he had lost lot of blood and the pain inflicted on him had done great damage to him and was too harsh for someone of his age.

And finally i got reunited with my baby, I thought I was never going to see him ever, but I wasn't going to give up on him either.

After several hours of interrogation detective Sanchez along side detective robles approached me.

"Well the lady told us the part of her own story" detective Sanchez said

"And what is that?"

"Come into my office" detective said to me

The three of us walked straight into detective Robles office to get started with our conversation.

"Well she said she was hired by a lady called Marissa Schizophrenia, and that her job was to help marissa take care of her own child" detective Sanchez said

"She obviously changed her name" I gestured

"Yes she did, we showed her a picture of your mom and she identified her as the lady" detective Robles said

"Well she has been taking care of your child in Jim's house"

"And who is jim?"

"His the abductor, Jim Kristin, his also your mom's so called husband at least that's how he was introduced to the lady"

"And did you ask him what relationship he truly shares with my mom"

"Well he claimed to be your mom's boyfriend, he also pleaded with us saying that your mom made him do all that he did"

"Wow!!, well she didn't force him, he could have said no"
"So how did she get to that warehouse"

"Well according to her, they pay her to take care of your baby for twenty four hours, she stayed in Jim's house"

"Doesn't she have a family"

"Nope she's from Philadelphia, her family stays there, that's why she took the full-time job"

"What if she's making all this up"

"When we got to the warehouse we saw her legs chained, and she looked really scared, so I don't think she's lying"

"So what is next"

"Well we're taking this case to the jury, we have enough evidence up our sleeves so she's definitely going to be locked up for a very very long time"

"I just want to say Thank you, you both have tried for Joel, my child and I. I'm sure Joel can rest in piece now" I said as I grieved.
